St Columba Falls & Binalong Bay

About 30 minutes drive from St Helens, we visited St Colomba Falls, one of the highest falls in Tasmanian at 90 metres. Could see the falls from the car park, but then there was a 10 minute walk along a lovely trail through Myrtle, Blackwood and Fern forest to the base of the falls. Ethan, as he often does, spotted some wildlife - a pademelon further up the track.
We enjoyed the view for awhile, had some morning tea while taking it all in before walking back to the car.

 
From the falls, we drove to Binalong Bay, the southern end of the Bay of Fires.  Found another stunning beach where we spent several hours, including a picnic lunch on the sand, beach cricket, getting wet in the crystal clear water, climbing on rocks and building sandcastles.  Zac built an impressive fort up on a rock. The three boys went wading out into the water and around to a small secluded cove, then up on some more rocks.



 
Due to popular demand, later in the afternoon we returned to Peron Dunes for some more stunt action leaping from the top of a sand dune!  Jet was happy being the photographer, getting lots of action shots while the four kids had a great time jumping, leaping, rolling down the dunes, getting sand in all manner of places...
